Apple Motion – Editing software, creating video motion effects

Apple Motion is software that helps users edit and create video effects on MacBook effectively. You can create eye-catching 2D, 3D titles. You can freely create artistic videos, attracting viewers with different effects for your work or many other purposes.

Designed for video editors, Motion is a powerful motion graphics tool that makes it easy to create cinematic 2D and 3D titles, fluid transitions, and realistic effects in real time.

2D and 3D Titles

  • Import 360° media and design 360° titles, generators, and effects
  • Build 3D titles from scratch, design them with easy-to-use templates, or instantly convert any existing 2D title to 3D
  • Easily create beautiful titles that you can animate using more than 100 drag-and-drop behaviors and intuitive text animation tools
  • Customize 3D titles to create endless looks with over 90 Apple-designed 3D materials including metal, wood, and stone surfaces

Motion Graphics for Final Cut Pro

  • Save any title, effect, transition or generator and access it directly in Final Cut Pro
  • Customize Final Cut Pro titles, effects, and transitions by opening them in Motion
  • Create Motion Templates with any combination of single parameters and rigs, that let you control a group of parameters with a slider, pop-up menu, or checkbox in Final Cut Pro
  • Use Display Aspect Ratio snapshots to create templates that support multiple aspect ratios

Stunning Effects

  • Choose from more than 230 behaviors for natural animation without keyframes
  • Create an accurate chroma key in a single step with the Keying filter
  • Change focus points or the depth effect for video shot in Cinematic mode on iPhone (requires macOS Monterey or later)
  • Design your own particle emitters or choose from 200 presets for real-world effects like smoke and sparkles
  • Use professional masking tools to quickly draw and adjust control points for rotoscoping
  • Automatically detect, track, and match the movement of faces or objects using machine learning
  • Choose between different tracking analysis types
  • Add the Neon filter to easily add a neon glow to text, shapes, video, stills, and more
  • Harness an ecosystem of third-party FxPlug plug-ins for tasks like advanced tracking, advanced motion graphics, and more

Effortless 3D

  • Transition from 2D to 3D space by adding cameras
  • Create 3D scenes within a 360° project for ultra-realistic 360° environments
  • Set up realistic shadows that animate dynamically with the movement of cameras and lights
  • Turn any shape, video plane, or paint stroke into a reflective surface in 3D space
  • Import third party USDZ objects or use one of 60 premade objects in the Motion Library

Breakthrough Speed, Quality, and Output

  • Import wide color HDR images, view them on supported Mac computers, and export in standard Rec. 709 or wide Rec. 2020 color space
  • Improved performance and efficiency on Mac computers with Apple silicon
  • Unrivaled performance with optimizations for the M2 Pro, M2 Max and M2 Ultra chips
